Who was the first band/musician you ever saw in concert?

My dad took me to see Green Day the summer after 7th Grade (in 2001) and it was incredible! But at one part Billie Joe Armstrong simulated having sex with his guitar and my dad was super awkward about it. I haven't seen them in concert since.

Probably the Rolling Stones in Athens, Greece. I think it was their first time playing in Greece and my parents took me and my sister. I fell asleep after like an hour or so. My parents still won't let me live that down, but to be fair, I was something like 8 years old and it was wayyyy past my bed time.

When I was in grade 6, I saw Hansen in concert. I barely even remember the concert- apparently I was too overwhelmed by teenie-bopper bliss. My mom, who took me, said I just stood up out of my seat screaming and singing the lyrics to every song... I've since gained much better taste in music.

Kiss. January, 1985. "Animalize" tour, absolutely amazing. Mark St. John played on the album and was in the tour book pictures, but it was Bruce Kulick playing the tour. No makeup, no pyro, no crazy lights, just ninety minutes of full-tilt, two-fisted rock.

First international act I saw would have been Good Charlotte when I was fifteen. I didn't even like them (they were on a billing with local bands). I wish I'd saved my "first" for R.E.M./Bright Eyes the next year, which was vastly more enjoyable.
